Rachel Weisz thinks her life is like a “fairytale”. The 40-year-old actress still loves having to get dressed up for red carpet events and promotional opportunities, and insists no part of her work feels like real life. She said: “Promoting a movie is part of the job and it’s fiction as much as the movie is. “It’s like a fairytale. You get lent a dress and someone does your hair, does your make-up, it’s like dressing up and it’s not real – nobody looks like that when they wake up in the morning! “It’s fantasy, it’s not real life, it’s work and it’s not unpleasant. I like it.”Despite utilising other people to help recreate the “fairytale “image on the red carpet, Rachel makes sure she leads a healthy lifestyle in order to keep her slim figure. She said: “I’m very healthy. I eat well and exercise. Like being an athlete you have to be somewhat in shape because this is what you have got.”

Rachel Weisz isn’t planning to move back to Britain following the collapse of her relationship with Darren Aronofsky. The British actress — who raises four-year-old son Henry with the Black Swan director — intends to stay put in New York. “Rachel is always getting asked when she’s moving back to Britain,” a source said. “After all, she still has a home in North London. But she’s remaining in New York because she wants her four-year-old son Henry to be close to his father. “They’re seeking joint custody – it’s an amicable split. They just went in different directions.” Recent reports claimed Weisz grew close to James Bond hunk Daniel Craig while they played husband and wife in forthcoming thriller Dream House. “Rachel and Daniel simply sparked during the filming of Dream House in Canada,” a source said. “They have great chemistry. Darren’s such a good and responsible man, but Daniel’s the opposite extreme, he’s brooding and mysterious. Darren and Rachel have simply grown apart, they spent long periods away from each other, moving in different directions.”

Actress Rachel Weisz has an unusual way of keeping coyotes from her chicken coop at her family’s country home – she’s enlisted her young son Henry to urinate around its fence. The Mummy star keeps a coop of nine hens and one rooster at the upstate New York home she shares with director fiance Darren Aronofsky. And she admits the couple’s four-year-old son is having a lot of fun making sure the fowls are kept safe. She says, “He plays with the chickens, he catches them. “Apparently if human beings urinate around the perimeter of the chicken coop it keeps the coyotes at bay. Apparently they don’t like human urine. “So my son has taken on this task and he is peeing his way around this fence. He’s serious. He drinks a lot and he saves his pee for the chicken coop.”
